Near Melton ...See moreWilfred Melton, a poor man who has come to the mountains in search of health, one day stumbles upon a rich quartz ledge bearing gold, but on account of his poverty is unable to get the machinery necessary to develop his find. Near Melton lives an old hermit who apparently is in prosperous circumstances. One day he is counting his hoarded gold when Melton knocks at the door. The hermit hides his wealth under the tablecloth and admits Melton. Melton makes an impassioned appeal for some provisions and tells him that his wife and baby are on the verge of starvation. The old hermit thinks he is after his gun and tries to shoot Melton. In the struggle the gun is discharged and the old hermit killed. The tablecloth is pulled off in the struggle, baring the gold. Time passes and Melton has made good with the money and is now in prosperous circumstances, but is still haunted. He writes his wife a note telling her of his mental torture, and that she will know the truth soon. He sets out for the sheriff's office to tell of the killing and give himself up. While he is nervously walking up and down in the sheriff's office he sees a reward sign, offering $1,000 for the capture of Nick, the Hermit, and from the picture recognizes the face of the dead hermit. He rushes from the office and hurries home to get the letter before his wife reads it. His wife has just returned from an outing and is just about to get the letter when he rushes in and manages to secure the letter without her knowledge. Some time later the president of the bank the hermit had robbed is very much mystified to receive a package of $10,000, the amount stolen from the bank.
